Pentagon Cuts Civilian Casualty Team Amid Intense Iran Campaign

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Amidst a massive U.S.-Israeli air campaign against Iran, the Pentagons civilian casualty prevention team has been drastically reduced from 200 to fewer than 40 people. This comes as the allies have struck over 5000 targets in Iran, with the first 100 hours hitting more sites than the initial six months of the campaign against the Islamic State. Critics argue that the staff reductions weaken oversight and investigation capabilities, particularly after a strike on a girls elementary school near a military base. The Pentagon is now probing the incident, but the focus remains on balancing military goals against protecting non-combatants in the crossfire.
